Vanessa Laufenberg
In the early hours of Sunday, June 15, Vanessa passed away at home, near her mother. It was unexpected, but she went peacefully and in her sleep. The news came as a terrible shock, as she was deeply loved by her family and a great many individuals, both near and far.
Vanessa was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on November 8, 1986. She grew up in Penn Hills. During her life she worked in Pittsburgh, Austin, Texas, and most recently in Nashville, Tennessee.
She was a loving daughter to Lorraine Beloncis of Verona. She is also survived by her loving brother Parker Laufenberg and his wife Becky, and had a special place in her heart for nieces Addy and Jocelyn and nephews Archer and Ender. She also loved and was loved by many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
If you were lucky enough to have shared the immeasurable love we have for her, please know she felt the same pure and powerful love for you.
To all who knew and loved Vee, please come to a celebratory memorial of Her Life, Her Love, and Her Spirit. It will be held at Diamond Beach, 7775 Lock Way E., Pittsburgh, Saturday, July 12th, beginning at 4:00 pm., along the Monogahela River. This is an open-air location, so please dress casually and comfortably. There we will send Her Spirit off... and share our loss together.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
